They determine how often we practice mindfulness, our exercise patterns, our ability to place our full attention on our work. They bolster our capacity to interact with the people around us from a sense of compassion and full presence. <\/p>\n<p>Our habits also create most of the problems we encounter in life. They keep us stuck in self-defeating patterns like eating that full pint of ice cream, getting lost for hours on social media, or \u201cchecking out\u201d instead of being present for the people we love.<\/p>\n<p>As you begin this New Year, it\u2019s easy to get caught-up thinking only about goals, outcomes, and New Year\u2019s resolutions. These are important. But we think it\u2019s even more important to consider the underlying habits that either keep you stuck or allow you to experience profound changes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>How do you nourish healthy habits? Here are three proven steps:<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/theprivateclinic.me\/en\/posts\/mental-health\/build-healthy-habits-in-the-new-year-with-3-science-backed-strategies\/#3_Science-Backed_Strategies_to_Build_Healthy_Habits_in_the_New_Year\" >3 Science-Backed Strategies to Build Healthy Habits in the New Year<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/theprivateclinic.me\/en\/posts\/mental-health\/build-healthy-habits-in-the-new-year-with-3-science-backed-strategies\/#Step_1_Take_an_Inventory_of_Your_Current_Habit_System\" >Step 1: Take an Inventory of Your Current Habit System<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/theprivateclinic.me\/en\/posts\/mental-health\/build-healthy-habits-in-the-new-year-with-3-science-backed-strategies\/#Step_2_Build_New_Habits_By_Stacking_Them_on_Habits_You_Already_Have\" >Step 2: Build New Habits By Stacking Them on Habits You Already Have<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/theprivateclinic.me\/en\/posts\/mental-health\/build-healthy-habits-in-the-new-year-with-3-science-backed-strategies\/#Some_other_ways_to_stack_habits\" >Some other ways to stack habits<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/theprivateclinic.me\/en\/posts\/mental-health\/build-healthy-habits-in-the-new-year-with-3-science-backed-strategies\/#Step_3_Build_and_Sustain_Your_New_Habits_Using_the_Four_Cs\" >Step 3: Build and Sustain Your New Habits Using the Four C\u2019s<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-science-backed-strategies-to-build-healthy-habits-in-the-new-year\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Science-Backed_Strategies_to_Build_Healthy_Habits_in_the_New_Year\"><\/span>3 Science-Backed Strategies to Build Healthy Habits in the New Year<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-take-an-inventory-of-your-current-habit-system\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Take_an_Inventory_of_Your_Current_Habit_System\"><\/span>Step 1: Take an Inventory of Your Current Habit System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Edward Deming, one of America\u2019s leading management scientists in the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/quotes.deming.org\/authors\/W._Edwards_Deming\/quote\/10141\">declared<\/a>, \u201cEvery system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets.\u201d Allow that to sink in for a moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The idea here is that your current system of habits is \u201cperfectly designed\u201d to produce the negative, self-defeating, patterns you wish you could change. If you struggle to exercise, it\u2019s because your current habit system is perfectly designed to keep you from working out. Can\u2019t find time to meditate? It\u2019s because your current habit system is perfectly designed to prevent you from training your mind.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Which existing habits are standing in your way? Which new habits will allow you to make the changes you would like to see? <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And that raises an important question: what results do you wish you were getting? For instance, do you want to be more mindful, less distracted? Do you want to be kinder, less agitated? Do you want to spend more time exploring the things that matter most to you? Less time binge-watching shows on Netflix? These are the outcomes you want to change.<\/p>\n<p>Next, look one level deeper, at changes in habits that will help you achieve these outcomes. And this begs a second question: Which existing habits are standing in your way? Which new habits will allow you to make the changes you would like to see? <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-build-new-habits-by-stacking-them-on-habits-you-already-have\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Build_New_Habits_By_Stacking_Them_on_Habits_You_Already_Have\"><\/span>Step 2: Build New Habits By Stacking Them on Habits You Already Have<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>By now, you should have a few new habits in mind that will help you achieve the changes you\u2019d like to make. The question then becomes: how do you build these new habits?<\/p>\n<p>In our work with high performers and executives, we\u2019ve found that the best way to build new habits. In the words of habit expert James Clear, <a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/jamesclear.com\/habit-stacking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cstack\u201d<\/a> them on top of existing habits. <\/p>\n<p>For example, let\u2019s say you want to build the habit of spending less time distracted by your phone. You could try to build this habit from scratch by saying, \u201cI am not going to look at my phone at all in the evening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stacking this new habit on top of an existing habit is a much more effective strategy. For example, you can say: \u201cAfter I walk through my front door and take off my jacket in the evening, I\u2019m going to put my phone on Do Not Disturb mode.\u201d This approach increases your likelihood of building the habit. First, you\u2019re tying it to an existing habit (taking off your coat as you walk in the door). Second, it also includes a specific action, which the <a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3505409\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research<\/a> says is another important strategy for making habits stick. Saying, \u201cI\u2019m going to try to look at my phone less\u201d is vague. However, switching your phone to Do Not Disturb is a tangible action.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>The path to changing your life is more about the process of building the habit than the specific habit itself. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-some-other-ways-to-stack-habits\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_other_ways_to_stack_habits\"><\/span>Some other ways to stack habits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>There are numerous ways to enact this strategy in everyday life.\u00a0 You could use your walk into the office as a time for practicing present moment awareness, use slowing down in your car at stop signs or stop lights as a cue to take one or two mindful breaths, or use beginning meals as a cue for expressing one thing you are grateful for.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The possibilities here are endless with this simple strategy: Stack the new habit you wish to create on top of an existing habit so that it becomes integrated into the midst of your everyday life.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-build-and-sustain-your-new-habits-using-the-four-c-s\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Build_and_Sustain_Your_New_Habits_Using_the_Four_Cs\"><\/span>Step 3: Build and Sustain Your New Habits Using the Four C\u2019s<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The final step uses what we call the Four C\u2019s of habit formation to weave these new habits deep into the fabric of your everyday life.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><em>Commence Small<\/em>.<\/strong> This first critical tip builds on Stanford professor BJ Fogg\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tinyhabits.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research<\/a>, which suggests you start with a goal you can realistically achieve. For example, it\u2019s better to start with 5 minutes of meditation each day than to set yourself up for disappointment by trying to meditate for an hour. Be careful of setting unrealistic New Year\u2019s goals that risk failing in mere days because they are too big. Remember, the path to changing your life is more about the process of building the habit than the specific habit itself. <\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Commit<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0 Make a 100% commitment to building your new habit.\u00a0 It turns out that it\u2019s actually easier to commit to building a new habit 100% of the time than 99%. That 1%, after all, can make you miserable.\u00a0 It fuels that voice in your head that says, \u201cI\u2019ll skip it just this once.\u201d  But by making a 100% commitment to a tiny habit, you end this mental argument. We have seen over and over again with thousands of people that this is really the key tip for creating new habits.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Create a consistent Cue. <\/em><\/strong>Going back to the idea of habit stacking, where creating a \u201ccue\u201d helps you remember to act. Use one of your existing habits as your cue, as a trigger that helps you remember to build the new habit.\u00a0 If you want to spend less time mind wandering and more time noticing the sights, sounds, and sensations of the present moment, for instance, come up with a regularly repeating cue that reminds you to practice, a cue like waking up, going to bed, walking upstairs, stopping at stoplights, riding in elevators, or standing in line at the store.\u00a0 <\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Celebrate<\/em>.<\/strong>  All you have to do to celebrate is savor the experience for just a few seconds. Savor the exquisite feeling of connecting to your breath. Savor the feeling of pleasure that you derive from doing the activity you made a 100% commitment to carry out. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So, while the world hammers on about goals, outcomes, and New Year\u2019s resolutions over the next few weeks, remember that real change and progress only happens when we carefully construct a system of habits that make new outcomes possible.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"javascript\/blocked\" data-wpmeteor-type=\"text\/javascript\" >\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\nif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\nn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n'\nfbq('init', '973198340649629');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/>This article was written by Nate Klemp from www.mindful.org<br \/>\n<br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mindful.org\/3-science-backed-strategies-to-build-healthy-habits-in-the-new-year\/?rand=15311\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n<!-- CONTENT END 2 -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize \u2728 \u062a\u0644\u062e\u064a\u0635 It\u2019s the season for setting new goals and making resolutions, but the secret to lasting change is constructing a system of habits that make new outcomes possible.
